Thermodrone Extreme Burner

Thermodrone Extreme Burner is a weight loss supplement, that on Amazon proudly announces to the world that it contains “no banned substances”, and that it is manufactured to an unfamiliar-sounding UK standard.

We looked a little closer into Thermodrone Extreme Burner, and this is what we found.

What You Need To Know About Thermodrone Extreme Burner

One of Extreme Burner’s ingredients, Citrus Aurantium, is also known as Bitter Orange. It’s a powerful stimulant in itself, and when mixed with other stimulant ingredients, such as caffeine by itself, and the caffeine contained in the Green Tea and the Guarana, Bitter Orange could cause more stimulation than absolutely necessary in those that are not used to caffeine in that quantity.

It’s also a banned substance. Well, at least as far as the National Collegiate Athletic Association is concerned, according to the NCAA banned drug list, another of Extreme Burner’s ingredients: Guarana.

And that could possibly be why the manufacturers of Extreme Burner decided to manufacture and sell it in the UK, where the market for supplements of this kind is still large, but not as immense as that of the US.

What Are The Side Effects Of Thermodrone Extreme Burner?

The stimulants in Extreme Burner can raise blood pressure, and cause problems with sleep and digestion. One of them can interact badly with other medications.

Other ingredients can bring on side-effects such as visual blurring, muscle weakness, reproductive, and urination problems. Further side effects include a fishy odor in the breath, sweat, and urine.

How Much Does Thermodrone Extreme Burner Cost?

What we found interesting about Extreme Burner is that not only does the company seem to sell it and other products only on Amazon and eBay in the UK, they’re knocking the price down from £39.99 to a mere £12.99. That’s from just over $54 down to just over $17.50.

Our Verdict On Thermodrone Extreme Burner

We’re less than impressed by the company’s cheap’n’nasty website, with one cheap stock photo and only two sentences on the home page – both of which read like they’ve been punctuated by a grade-school pupil who doesn’t pay any attention in English class. Nasty. As well as that, whoever matched up the graphics and the captions beneath them did an appalling job, labelling two identical pictures with two different captions.

We took a look at the FDA’s “Poisonous Plant” database, and weren’t exactly thrilled to find Guarana there. Maybe that’s why it wasn’t listed on the Amazon sales page.

We’re less than delighted when reading the claim that Extreme Burner doesn’t contain any banned substances, and then discovering that the NCAA has banned two of the ingredients.

We don’t like the way they call Bitter Orange “Citrus Aurantium”, and make no mention whatsoever of the dangers it can cause through interacting with anything as simple as a cough or cold remedy.

Oh, and as for that unfamiliar-sounding UK standard Extreme Burner is supposed to have been manufactured to, we found two different versions of it in their promotional material: BS:EN 2001 9001 and ISO 2001:9001.

So not only could the company not get that right, but when we Googled ISO 2001:9001, the first listing that came up was “The Handbook of Hot-Dip Galvanization”. As for BS:EN 2001 9001, all we’re going to say about that is at least the BS part of it is accurate, but we’re still going to reject Thermodrone Extreme Burner.

Thermodrone Extreme Burner Review

OK, so the makers of Extreme Burner may be doing most of us a favor by only selling it to UK consumers. But for the sake of our transatlantic cousins, let’s make sure they understand what they’re getting themselves into if they go to Amazon and buy themselves a bottle of Extreme Burner.

Thermodrone Extreme Burner Facts

Offers no clue as to its physical location or personnel

Based in one of those cheap virtual office addresses in downtown London

Website is registered to one of those identity protection companies

So we have no idea how they are, or where we can find them – and that’s the way they seem to like it

As well as Extreme Burner, Thermodrone also sell testosterone boosters, a PCT Cycle support (we don’t know either, but it’s got the sort of ingredients like Tribulus Terrestris, Zinc, Resveratrol, and Maca, so it looks to us like some kind of enhancement formula), and something called LivPro XL which might not be selling so well because its “Order on Amazon” link doesn’t work, and there’s nothing on the site to tell us what any of these products contain.

Back on Amazon, though, while looking at the Fat Burners “Supplement Facts” graphic, we note that it contains Guarana Extract, something they’ve left out of the ingredient lists in bigger letters elsewhere on that page, and we can’t help wondering why.

How to Take Thermodrone Extreme Burner

From the Amazon sales page, “SUGGESTED USE: Take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the afternoon. If you have trouble sleeping, do not take after 3PM.”

Something else we’re wondering about is the quantity of caffeine in Thermodrone Extreme Burner, since the amount of Caffeine Anhydrous (which, the Supplements Facts helpfully tells us “contains caffeine”) is already getting very close to half the recommended daily allowance of 400 mg.

Now, add that to the caffeine in the coffee you’ve had for breakfast (or even your tea, if you’re reading this in Britain), PLUS the caffeine in the Green Tea Extract, PLUS the caffeine in the Guarana Extract, and it’s no surprise that you’re advised to take just the one cap in the morning, and the other one before 3pm.

Thermodrone Extreme Burner Concerns:

The cheap’n’nasty website offers no information about the company or its products

The people behind Thermodrone are hiding behind their serviced office address, and their website ownership is hidden by an identity protection company

They’ve used a different, hardly recognizable name for a potentially dangerous ingredient, and not bothered to tell users about those dangers when combining it with anything from simple cold and cough medicines, to complex HIV/AIDS medications

What Does Thermodrone Extreme Burner Claim To Do?

From the Amazon sales page (because there’s nothing about any of their products on their website): “Thermodrone fat burner has been scientifically formulated to increase energy stamina, focus and metabolism in both men and women, creating the perfect fat burning pills that work fast”.

Does Thermodrone Extreme Burner Work?

According to a lot of people taking the time and trouble to add their two cents’ worth to the Amazon reviews, then yes, it does. These are the people, though, who tend to take Thermodrone Extreme Burner before a workout and eat sensibly, as opposed to those who just take it, sit back, and hope for the best.

And there were quite a few of those people leaving less-than-positive reviews.

What Are The Ingredients of Thermodrone Extreme Burner?

Caffeine: This is one we all know about, and the amount here is close to half the recommended daily allowance – and that’s without all the other ingredients which contain caffeine.

L-Tyrosine: Good for improving mental alertness and focus. It’s more commonly used in smart drug formulations these days, so we wonder what it’s doing here.

Citrus Aurantium: More commonly knowns as synephrine, and even more commonly known as bitter orange extract. This is the ingredient that shouldn’t be taken with other stimulants and a host of other medications, because of the potential for harmful interactions.

Green Tea Extract: Contains antioxidants and caffeine, and which promotes thermogenesis, the process of burning calories while digesting food and increasing heat in the body.

L-Tryptophan: An amino acid that raises serotonin levels and helps with sleep, but which has little or no effect on fat loss.

Guarana: Contains an unknown amount of caffeine, and which although on the FDA’s database of poisonous plants, is permitted to be used not as a stimulant for “flavor and non-flavor uses as food additives”.

L-Carnitine: Helps the body produce energy and is good for muscle movement. It’s good for reducing fatigue and improving focus, so it’s more effective during workouts than it is for fat loss.

Alpha-lipoic acid: Breaks down carbohydrates for energy.

Niacin: Improves cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but which also increases insulin sensitivity – something that doesn’t really help a person lose weight.

Does Thermodrone Extreme Burner Have Any Side Effects?

Other that keeping users awake nights? Some reviewers felt sick, others felt they’d had too much caffeine, and one user claimed Thermodrone Extreme Burner had brought on two seizures. So we looked at the ingredients again, just to see what kind of side effects they could produce, and this is what we found:

Caffeine can bring on headaches, digestion problems, abnormal heartbeat, and a bad case of the jitters.

Citrus Aurantium shouldn’t be taken with stimulants like caffeine in the first place because it can increase the risk of elevated blood pressure, fainting, heart attack, stroke, and what WebMD spookily calls “other severe side effects”.

L-Carnitine lowers blood pressure and can cause seizures, together with creating a fishy odor in a person’s breath, urine, and sweat.

Niacin, taken in large quantities can cause vision loss, liver problems, and ulcers.

Cayenne powder can cause digestion problems, hot flushes, sweating, and a runny nose. Over a long period of time, it can cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Thermodrone Extreme Burner?

If you really had nothing better to do with your time, you could plow through all 316 customer reviews for Extreme Burner on Amazon (We did. Twice). 238 of them gave it 5 stars, which made us think that maybe we were being a little harsh, until we found one of those comments which said,

Is it just me, or do these 5 star reviews all sound similar ? tone, length, language used and often bad spelling.

As an aside, we recently discovered Fakespot.com, a service which analyses online reviews. They came to the conclusion that of the 1,161 reviews of Thermodrone products found on Amazon, 40.0% of those reviews were “unreliable”.

So we went through all those 316 customer reviews again, and then decided that maybe we weren’t actually being harsh enough.

Then again, quite a few of those reviews were quite harsh in themselves, such as: “Rubbish”, and “Waste of money”.

Further customer reviews include;

Very disappointed! was lsing weight without them!!!

Not happy, just recieved a package which was meant to contain 60 capsules and only had 33 in the container?! Whats this about?

Don’t waste your money. I got it for energy as I feel tired when I get up in the morning . 2 hours after taking it, I feel incredibly sleepy and sluggish !. No effect whatsoever.. coffee does a better job!

First week I used these they gave a good kick but in the long run id rather use the grenade alternative.

Does Thermodrone Extreme Burner Offer a Money-Back Guarantee?

A what?

Let’s just say no, and leave it at that.

Where Can I Buy Thermodrone Extreme Burner?

There’s Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk. You might want to check out eBay if you’re not happy with shipping costs – it looks like at least one seller offers free delivery.
